I'll come follow you is on display at the WHMilbank Gallery until December 13.
At first glance the works - paint on wood panels - appear to be layers of dark paint and muted patterns. However, a closer look reveals painted faces and creatures swimming in and out of view.
The works were made by layering paint, sanding it back and layering more paint. She used wood stain, sandpaper, paint stripper, wallpaper and house paint to create the works.
"It was more like a building project than a piece of art," Ms Garland said.
